in reply to test output in colour ?

I'm pretty sure you get this for free with Test::Harness 3.0. Upgrade that, and everything else should follow just nicely.

    Yup, it's built-in. If we think the output isn't going to a terminal or if you don't have the correct modules installed, we disable the color output. You can also do this manually with the --nocolor switch.

      The terminal detection is really annoying. I often pipe colorful output to `less -r'. If tools stopped istty() then my tools would work better. Same goes for ack.

        With ack you can override it, I haven't tried for for prove yet...

        alias ack='ack --color --group'
alias plainack='ack --nocolor --nogroup'
